Beveridge speaker repair


I have a good friend with Beveridge model 2 electrostatic speakers (with the built in high voltage tube amp but no subwoofer) that are in need of a re-build/repair.

Anyone know of someone doing this in the Los Angeles CA area? We know about Rick Beveridge in Santa Barbara (son of the founder) but it is a bit unclear as to whether he will repair the older units at reasonable cost.

My freind used to have a local LA tech (Marc McInn) work on his speakers but he has lost touch with him.

Any help/input would be appreciated.

You could try Roger M. at Music Reference . I believe he was the desingner of the internal Amps
There seems to be a lot of confusion about Modjeski's part in the manufacture of Beveridge speakers. The direct drive OTL amplifiers in the Beveridge Model 2 were actually Counterpoint amplifiers. Modjeski was involved in building the solid state amplifiers for the 2SW-2 subwoofers. If Rick Beveridge is still restoring Beveridge speakers he is your best bet.
What is the problem with the speakers? Is it the amplifiers or the panels? I have the same speaker and might be able to steer you in the right direction. I have spoken to Rick a number of times and I don't think that he will be repairing panels soon unfortunately. Roger M. is an excellent recommendation. I actually spoke to him today about this issue. rda5555@hotmail.com. Bob

From what I understand, the panels are fine. He is getting a buzzing or whining sound from one of the amplifiers. I suspect something has gone out of tolerance and the amp is oscillating. To clarify, the whining is heard through the speaker panel and its not mechanical vibration from a transformer, etc.

He does not think its 60/120 Hz hum.

He was going to call Rodger M to see if he could help. From what I understand Rodger is selling tube amps and perhaps he has some familiarity with the earlier Beveridge designs.
